I'd go with the 2nd choice, b/c it has a higherclocked cpu at 2.26ghz and has 4gb ram, 200GB HD,9800GM. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1211587727985

Okay who cares about more harddrive space. If u edit or store alot of movies and other stuff ur not going to fill up 200GIGZ. And the Gateway has a better GPU and faster CPU.

You just cited HD space as a reason for picking the Gateway over the other two.

Okay well its nice to have 320 isn't it?

The Gateway has less.

Despite that, it still does have a higher clocked CPU, and space isn't much of an issue when you talk upwards of 100 gigs.

[Llethander 230]

I dunno, space is an issue for me on my desktop. I have 400GB between two HDDs and I've almost filled them both. Then again, I download movies, have a ton of games AND I do some video editing as well so I suppose it all depends.

Just keep in mind, Gateway is Acer. I've only been impressed by Acer's newest releases, to be honest.

It depends on what your using your laptop for. I use mine for work and school, so space isn't a big deal.

Yeah I know.

Chronx is just being really incoherent.

I'm leaning towards the HP, it's a great deal. Blu-ray, huge HD space, and great specs for 1k? I'm sold.

And this laptop will be for everything I do. Basically like a desktop replacement system (No space for two desktops in my house really).

i like to have a desktop at home, and a laptop for school.

i use a PC for desktop, and a Macbook for school.

[Llethander 230]

This is the one I'm gunning for: Acer Aspire 8930

It's the newest model of this laptop:

I want to do that.

The only problem for me is the price of Macbooks, a bit on the expensive side for me.

[projectmayhem9 8]

Macbooks are overpriced pieces of crap. Only thing decent about them is their processors.

I'd only use it for school and office work anyway.

Whenever I'm on a college campus, (I'm on University of Michigan's alot,) I see a lot of people with a Macbook.

BTW, nice avatar, Project.

I switched over from buying kr3w's to altamont.

[projectmayhem9 8]

Hah thanks Pinoy

Altamont makes good shit.
